Celestial Bloom

Celestial Bloom

"It blossoms when stars weep and spirits dance." — Druidic saying from Gleann na bhFéileach
 

General Information

Type: Rare Magical Flora
Habitat: Found only in Gleann na bhFéileach, Tarnith
Appearance: A translucent flower with six star-shaped petals that shimmer in pale hues of silver, violet, and blue  

Overview

The Celestial Bloom is a rare and sacred flower said to grow only in glades touched by the Spirit Shroud and illuminated by moonlight during the Cycle of Reflection. It is believed to be a gift from the stars or the Veil itself, sprouting in silence where spiritual energy gathers thickest.   Legends say a bloom marks a place where a spirit crossed peacefully, or where a soul once spoke with the divine.  

Mystical Properties

  • Starlight Nectar: The flower exudes a luminous sap that enhances clarity of dreams, visions, or prophecy when consumed sparingly.
  • Spirittrace Dust: Dried petals can be ground into a powder used in rituals to commune with specific ancestors.
  • Fleeting Bloom: The flower wilts before dawn unless preserved through druidic rites—attempts to forcibly harvest it often result in spiritual backlash.
  • Cultural Importance

    Celestial Blooms are never picked casually. Instead, druids leave offerings of song, breath, or memory beside the flowers, recording their presence with bone-charms or spirit carvings.   It is considered a great honor to find one, and even greater to witness its unfurling at night. Some say if one speaks their true name near a blooming Celestial, the Veil itself will remember them forever.
